Swistle, how ’bout a “Worst Thing Someone Ever Said to You About Your Child’s Name” post? Like the time my grandpa-in-law asked if we thought our daughter’s name was “appropriate for a little girl?” Um, YES, since she’s already BORN AND NAMED. Or my friend whose family REFUSED to call her son by his name because they didn’t like it. They just called him something else. I would love to read and fume about this topic.<\/div>\n

So tell us your examples! We are waiting to hear! What’s the worst thing someone ever said to you about your child’s name?\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
